Kate Nicholson is a California artist, originally from New Orleans, who approaches painting and printmaking from her background in photography and journalism. Since moving to Barcelona, Kate explores what it means to find a sense of place in a new environment.
Often rendered in a limited palette, her work is a visual interpretation of her surroundings and reflects her effort to bring about order and calmness. Through the use of movement and gesture, she encourages the viewer to slow down, instilling in the work an expansiveness and the importance of immersing ourselves in what is in front of us.
As a young girl, Kate Nicholson wanted more than anything to write, but life went in a different direction. She has ghost written a couple of books and delivered a TED Talk, which you can see Tedx talk here.
Her story telling focus never left her and today she writes primarily for her own pleasure and weaves her thoughts into her visual artwork.
She holds a BA in Communications, Journalism from Loyola University and a MFA from Parsons, the New School for Design as well as a MBA from the University of New Orleans.
She lives and works in Barcelona and occasionally San Francisco.
